Reporting MyBB security vulnerabilities

If you think you’ve found a vulnerability in MyBB, we advise you not to publicly post it on these forums or publicly release information about it elsewhere until we’ve had time to prepare and release a patch.

As always, you can send through security related messages on the MyBB website from the Contact Us page or in our Private Inquiries forum – where you can start a new thread that only you and the MyBB Team can see.

Thanks,

MyBB Team

Note about updated package

Due to a minor issue with the original packages an updated package set has been released.

If you installed or updated your forums using either the full or changed files packages prior to 9:30 a.m. on April 27, 2014 GMT please download a fresh package from the links above and replace the following file:

admin/modules/style/themes.php

You do not need to run the installer or make any further changes. You can use the file verification tool to determine whether you have the latest package, the file above will appear to be modified if you need to download an updated copy.

Should it not read if your using a version less than 1.6.12 you need to use the full package? Normally if your using the latest version (in this case 1.6.12) you can use the change package version which you show a link and download above what is quoted?

Just want to clarify what i need to use before i upgrade my 1.6.12 version.
